Hot Lap Ride-Along age requirements

Post by KKennedy717 » Thu Oct 04, 2012 2:06 pm

I should know the answer to this question but I don't - what(if any)are the minimum age requirements for a person to be able to take a Hot Lap Ride-Along? If it is less than 18 does the parent simply sign a "waiver" document?

BMW autocrosses allow any licensed driver to drive!

(my son has a permit and would love a ride along too)

I had heard (from perhaps an unreliable source) that the age for the HLRA had been dropped to 16. Earlier this year, I was assigned to take out a 17 year old. But she looked 18, honest!

The age requirement is still 18

Sept 2011 Minutes
COM's age requirements for Ride Alongs
Current club age limit is 18. We have had a request to allow younger ride-alongs. The consensus is that this should be address in the annual rule discussion.

Nov 2011 BOD Meeting minutes
VII.A
Old Rule Text
Drivers must be at least 18 years of age.

New Rule Text
Drivers must be at least 16 years of age.
Bruce made a motion to accept, Nate seconded – failed




There are no further discussions on lowering the ride-along limit that I can find anywhere in the minutes
